What is Interstitial Cystitis?

What is Interstitial Cystitis?


Interstitial Cystitis is the worst bladder infection you've ever had, except no bacteria is present, there is no cure, many foods make it worse, and separate treatments have maybe 1/3 of a chance of helping. The only true "treatment" is treating the pain, as its usually the only thing that will work. Even patients who've had their bladders removed still experience the pain. Doctors don't know what causes it or how to get rid of it but have many theories.

These are the new guidelines for diagnosing IC. If your doctor isn't using these then I suggest you find a new one who keeps up to date.

Today I woke up to foul smelling urine and quite a bit of pain. I immediately called my doctor to drop off a urine sample and it came back positive. I'm in immense pain on and off throughout the day and had to miss my first day of work due to IC. If this damages my bladder lining it will not repair fast enough for me to keep my job. I hope I caught it early enough.

Pray for me if you can. I was just getting settled in and feeling victorious over my lack of flares.. now I'm in a huge one.

I encourage open discussion. There is a lot for us to learn from each other.
